These daring
Dragonflies aren’t afraid of heat. They embrace it. It is my pleasure to introduce
the 2015 Golden Heart® finalists in Erotic Romance:
Michele loves dark chocolate , dessert wines. Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Scandal, Walking Dead, and Vikings. She enjoys reading Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Judith Mcnaught, Johanna Lindsey, and Sherrilyn Kenyon.
She is seeking
representation.
When
auto mechanic Grace Bennett finds the hottest actor in Hollywood stranded on a
mountain road in a snowstorm, she’s not sure what to believe. In a snowed-in
cabin, she gives in to her wildest fantasies, but she's well aware that all
dreams have to end. But after one night together, Aaron Elias can’t get Grace
out of his head. He brings her to Hollywood to experience his world of sports
cars, Malibu beach houses, and movie magic. The Cinderella treatment is more
than Grace ever imagined. Then she finds out why Aaron was really up in the
mountains that day, and Aaron’s dream world brings back Grace’s
nightmares. Grace and Aaron can't live in each other's worlds. Is this
love or are they both just indulging their fantasies?
Caroline Bradley is a single mom to two teenage boys. She wrote
contemporaries for most of her life but now that she's tested the erotic romance
waters, she's found there's a lot of fun to be had in giving up control. She's
currently working on her second erotic romance project, with a third
percolating in a Notes file, just itching to come out and play. The tagline to
her website says it all: If you can't laugh in bed, you're doing it all
wrong.

Caroline
is currently unagented and working toward self publication, unless someone has
better ideas.
Maddie Harper
is NOT a submissive. Or at least that’s the lie she’s been telling herself
since her twenties, back when a police raid at a play party highlighted the
risks of indulging in her dark and exhibitionist fantasies. But vanilla is
proving to be an unsatisfying flavor.
After a chance
reunion with Andrew, a Dominant from her old BDSM scene, Maddie is shaken by
something she hasn’t felt for over a decade—desire. He’s still the gentleman
and bad boy she remembers, a man whose love of bondage once called to her like
no other. She wonders if their meeting is a coincidence or wake-up call. Eager
to experience the uninhibited relationship she’s always craved, she’s smitten
when Andrew asks her out despite his insistence on dating without power roles.
He requires they build trust to ensure she’s ready. After romantic—but
chaste—dates, she hungers for more than kissing. She wants to kneel and serve.
He unleashes his dominant side and ensnares more than her body with rope; he
captures her heart.
But when their
playtime at a fetish event threatens her privacy, resurrecting old fears, it’ll
take more than what she feels for Andrew to keep from running again. She’ll
have to make peace with the one person out to sabotage their
relationship—herself.
Elle is a wife,
mom of a preschooler and terrier, social worker, the person people seek for
advice when visiting The Mouse, wannabe photographer, and a jokester. She’s
lived in the West, Northeast, and has called South Florida home for the past
ten years. In her relatively short history as a writer, she’s learned she has a
thing for gerunds, British spelling of words (though American), and that she
loves to write steamy sex scenes.
